Leighton, L.M. [G]
| 1. |
1 The LORD in your distress attend;
Let Jacob's God exalt you still;
2 Help from the holy temple send
And strengthen you from Zion's hill.
|
| 2. |
3 May He your sacrifice regard,
And all your off'rings bear in mind
May He your heart's desire reward,
Fulfilling all you have designed.
|
| 3. |
5 In your salvation we'll rejoice,
In our God's name our banners raise.
4 O may Jehovah hear your voice,
Grant all you ask through all your days.
|
| 4. |
6 I know now that the LORD defends
And saves His own anointed king.
From holy heav'n He answer sends;
His right hand saving power will bring.
|
| 5. |
7 In chariots some boast confidence,
And on their horses some rely;
But we boast only one defense,
The name of God, the LORD Most High.
|
| 6. |
8 While we are raised and upright stand,
Our foes are made to bow and fall.
9 O save the king, LORD, by Your hand,
And answer us the day we call.
